Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Geoffrey has a problem. All his life he's lived according to sensible sceptical, secular values. Then, his true love left him for a New Age community in Scotland. But it gets worse: now she wants to be a traditional Catholic nun Geoffrey is bewildered, angry, lost. Until, one Valentine's Day in Ireland, he meets a mysterious guide--the Gentle Traditionalist. Together they commence a most unusual dialogue of ideas concerning: - The Heart of the Gospel - The Real Nature of the Church: A Supernatural Mystery - The Crisis in Catholicism today: the Loss of Tradition - The New Age Movement - Catholic Ireland - Why Secularism gets away with murder Both whimsical and serious, the dialogue in this book offers a probing exploration of the Catholic Mystery, Christendom, and the crisis of the West today. Join us for a very special Valentine's Day when Geoffrey's barren, rational world gets turned upside down. This is one of the most unusual books I've ever read . written throughout with passion and engagement, with a touching and deep-seated love for Ireland.--MARY KENNY, author of Goodbye to Catholic Ireland As brilliant a guide for the perplexed as this age is capable of producing.--CHARLES COULOMBE, author of Everyman Today Call Rome The Gentle Traditionalist is a book with a 'strange magic, ' like unto the Ireland it loves and mourns. With unforgettable images and a wry sense of humor, Roger Buck unfolds a tale of whimsical fantasy, melancholy realism, and supernatural joy.--PETER KWASNIEWSKI, Wyoming Catholic College; author of Resurgent in the Midst of Crisis Writing with great wisdom, insight, and a most warm sense of humor, Roger Buck offers us a contemplation of the religious predicaments of our time in the spirit of Chesterton and Belloc. He takes on everything in a charming (and disarming) manner . a wonderful book.--MICHAEL MARTIN, author of The Submerged Reality To read this work was a joy, and I thank the author for helping me realize that, despite the passing of three generations and 150 years in the Irish-Australian diaspora, my heart is still Irish.--GERARD O'SHEA, University of Notre Dame, Australia; author of As I Have Loved You This striking novel by Roger Buck, set in Ireland, is composed with extraordinary sensitivity and insight.--COLIN MAWBY KSG, Choral Director of Radio Telefis Eireann (RT ) An unusual book: part love story, part theological dialog. Roger Buck is that altogether too rare Catholic who understands the importance of the geo-cultural forces that have shaped the modern world.--THOMAS STORCK, author of From Christendom to Americanism and Beyond The Gentle Traditionalist is a tremendous book: moving and humorous, opening up the most profound issues, engaging the most strident of polemics with the lightest touch.--JOSEPH SHAW, President of the Latin Mass Society of England and Wales ROGER BUCK is a Catholic convert, who once resided at Findhorn, Scotland-probably the most renowned New Age community in the world. He is also the author of Cor Jesu Sacratissimum (forthcoming from Angelico Press) and a traditional Catholic website of the same name. He is very happily married and lives in the rural northwest of Ireland.…
